HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 6328, 5844 i.e. 4 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 6328, 5844 is 4 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 6328, 5844 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6328, 5844 is 4.
HCF(6328, 5844) = 4
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 6328, 5844 is 4.
Step 1: Since 6328 > 5844, we apply the division lemma to 6328 and 5844, to get
6328 = 5844 x 1 + 484
Step 2: Since the reminder 5844 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 484 and 5844, to get
5844 = 484 x 12 + 36
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 484 and the new remainder 36, and apply the division lemma to get
484 = 36 x 13 + 16
We consider the new divisor 36 and the new remainder 16,and apply the division lemma to get
36 = 16 x 2 + 4
We consider the new divisor 16 and the new remainder 4,and apply the division lemma to get
16 = 4 x 4 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 4, the HCF of 6328 and 5844 is 4
Notice that 4 = HCF(16,4) = HCF(36,16) = HCF(484,36) = HCF(5844,484) = HCF(6328,5844) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
